Car insurance price index methodology.

The methodology
  • For each risk common to consecutive months, the variation is calculated from the average of the Top 5 cheapest premiums returned across the PCWs and key directs in the previous month to the average of the Top 5 in the current month (regardless of which brands provided these quotes).

  • The Overall Market Top 5 monthly variation is calculated by averaging across all these risk level Top 5 variations for common risks run in both months.

  • The monthly figures are concatenated to produce the trended price index from a starting point of 100% in the base month.
